Was having problems with pH using another brand of salt. After several large water changes with Red Sea pro salt, the pH corrected and now is stable. Very happy with the results and will continue using this salt mix.

My corals were barely surviving with other salt mixes, not they are not just thriving, but multiplying and growing quickly! Highly recommend.

There are a ton of reviews on this salt. And reefers have a ton of opinions of which salt is the best. So it comes down to what is best for you. This salt works for me because it mixes well, it is consistent from batch to batch, and when I test the mixed water I get the ratio of elements I am looking for. I have had better results with Red Sea than Instant Ocean. But I have friends who say the opposite. If your not using Red Sea, give it a shot and see how it works for you. For me the result has been healthier corals. Just don't use the cool looking leftover buckets for water storage....they leak :-)

Awesome product!By Jon 10/15/2013

J would recommend this product to a friend

RSCP salt is awesome! Switched to this after hearing that it was better for coral growth. Got some browned out SPS from someone and after a couple of weeks in the RSCP, all the sticks have color now and great polyp extension. Also made my zoas and palys spread like crazy! Will not use another salt after this!

Great Salt Bad PackagingBy Jake Wilkersonon 10/15/2013

I've ordered both sizes now. Each time the bucket comes with a huge crack down the side. I don't know about everyone else but I like to get my money's worth and re purpose those buckets.

Disappointing but I still love the salt.

cloudy water, brown filter padsBy mikecon 10/14/2013

mikec wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

At first I couldn't figure out where the brown was coming from on my filter pads and filter sock. I thought maybe it was GFO. Then I changed back to reef crystals and it cleared up, also my water is now crystal clear. Something is wrong with this salt, I am very disappointed.

Great growth on my zoos!By Scotton 10/9/2013

Scott would recommend this product to a friend

Mixes a little cloudy, directions say not to mix over 4 hours. I have 3 high end zoos I purchased that were sticking around with 3 polyps and now they have 9-10 polyps each. Acans are growing new heads as well. This only after 3 weekly 20% water changes. Prior to this I used Reef Crystals, it mixed super clear over night but I did not see this kind of growth.

I know this is a top notch salt I did not use it yet I will soon (175 Gal Bucket)By Kennethon 9/5/2013

Kenneth would recommend this product to a friend

The order arrived quickly as I have come to expect from BRS the only issue was the bucket was shipped in a box with the shipping label on the side of the bottom of the box, so the shipper handled it with the lid down when I opened the lid was destroyed and completely off the bucket salt had leaked out of the bag I don't know how much salt was lost? also the metal handle was badly bent, I am glad I had a empty spare salt bucket, I save the empty buckets for water changes etc, I called BRS they offered me a couple options to make it right (Thanks BRS) I must just be having bad luck lately, Past salt purchases I have made online from a other site ships the salt with the label on the bucket making it easier for the shipper to handle the heavy product, the next time I will ask for the bucket not to be put in a box since this is the first time out of 4 5gal purchases one was damaged in transit! I am not going to stop buying from BRS just sharing my experience.

I bought Red Sea awhile ago and ran out, was using up some salt that was given to me, and now am out of that thankfully, looking forward to using Red Sea again since my corrals like it and it supplies more of what I need for my tank

Years of healthy tanksBy Kris on 8/6/2013

I have been using this salt for a long time. I tried a few others along the way, but this is the most consistent mix out there. My tank is very healthy due to regular water changes and coral pro salt.

?????not for me???????By Pietroon 7/11/2013

Pietro wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

I really wanted this salt to work for me. I read the reviews, and decided it was what I wanted to start my 180g. reef with. The first time I mixed the salt with RODI water it seemed a little cloudier than I was accustomed. I let it rest and the next day added to tank. After four months of use, I did a large water with Instant Ocean and I noticed the clarity of the water from end to end of the tank was crystal clear and coral seem to be responding to weekly water changes. This product just not for me. I could see no benefits except a cool bucket.

I switched from Reef Crystals over a year ago and the move was worth it. Red Sea Coral Pro mixes cleaner, doesn't leave nasty brown gunk in the mixing container, and you can mix your salt and use it in about an hour.

We have tried a few different salts and this one has been the best so far hands down. Mixes well, no terrible odor (unlike Brightwell), plus no overnight mixing required. Our tank seems to like the new salt and we plan to continue using it.

What I useBy Merneon 5/21/2013

Merne would recommend this product to a friend

I love this salt. It dissolves easy with minimal heat. Normally I would let this dissolve overnight, but in emergencies, I have successfully mixed just prior to putting in the tank and had no ill effects. Love this salt--no need to dose with freq water changes.

Good salt mixes well. Be prepared if you keep your ALK lower than 12 if you mix this salt to 1.025 and do a water change it will raise your ALK. The parameters are what they say they are.

Terrible salt - causes algaeBy Not a noviceon 3/26/2013

Not a novice wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

This salt is terrible. I may have gotten 2 buckets from a bad batch but not going to give it another chance. Ever since I started using it, it has been causing a terrible hair algae outbreak. The more water changes I do the worse it gets. I would never recommend this salt to even my worst reefing enemy.

Good Mix, but full of plasticBy jeremyon 3/14/2013

jeremy would recommend this product to a friend

The salt dissolved VERY rapidly and had good parameters. The issue I had with it was every cup of salt I scooped out contained shredded pieces of paper or plastic in it which made for a very time consuming and messy operation as I had to pull or scoop out this plastic from my mix. I'm concerned that my water chemistry might be off because of it.

Great Salt - Easy to Mix and ConsistentBy TankTimeon 3/6/2013

TankTime would recommend this product to a friend

Lots of reviews on here already and I can say after using 4 other brands that I am staying with this salt no matter what. I test each new bucket I start, before it ever goes in my system, and it is consistent, mixes well, and has minimal residue compared to everything else I tried. I definitely attribute this salt, and the trace elements that it contains, to improved success with reefkeeping. Awesome salt and only a few bucks more than other brands but FAR worth it. I buy a couple of containers at a time along with GFO, Carbon, etc.... and it comes to my door for free. BRS ROCKS!

The salt calcium percipitaed By Markon 12/26/2012

Mark wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

Basically ,

The Local Fish Store got the North American East coat Representative on the phone and spoke with them about the issue. I brought a sample of the water mix with me. The Mix took 34 cups to make 1.024 and 37 cups to make 55 gallons 1.025 (it turned out my refractometer was calibrated to low from my calibration solution) it was actually just under 1.027 ...high yes but non the less there are more issues.
The representative was polite , professional and seemingly knowledgeable without being condescending. He spoke some basics about the packaging. I should not have bought what I did. It was professionally intended and did not contain beginner instructions. (I am thinking a Monkey can mix water with salt but...lets go on) I reminded him it is sold in a retail store (Later the LFS manager was bewildered, he commented that he was professional and wondered how is he supposed to know without correct instrutions on the product)

...I continue...he was just letting me know...and the phone conversation continued. He wanted to know step by step what I did from beginning to end. I told him...bought two 55 gallon Plastic food safe drums, filled with water to clean and drained and then I started my pressure washer and put the 3 foot nozzle into the container and rotated until every surface was surface pressure cleaned inside, refilled and drained. I used a 30 gallon open tub for mixing with and Eheim 1260 (nothing attached during mixing, later I attached fittings to circulate the drum contents of the salt mix)

so...I filled the tub with RO/DI water and sprinkled a cup into the tub over about a 5 minute time and let it violently agitate for 15 minutes...then I put the attachment onto my pump and pumped the mix into the empty drum ...then I repeated with RO/DI and some of the first blend from the first mix.(I have two drums, one was full of RO/DI and the other empty and clean) at this point I would fill the 30 gallon container and test and then mix a cup over a 5 minute period and then transfer into the barrel (filling it up...then I would empty the barrel from the bottom bilge...test water and repeat. I did this 37 times. It looked cloudy from the first mixing of 15 minutes with one cup all the way till the last. Anal...yes...my last test was 3:00am. I could not tell from the white 55 Gallon container if it was cloudy or not the next daybreak. I left a circulation going for 10 hours. The picture you see above is the end result from the Drum.

The rep then simply picked apart my process. He asked what was in the drum originally (I told him about the cleaning process) ...he moved on. He asked how much time went by with the water salt mix sitting in the Drumm without circulation (15 Minutes)...he asked what went into the mixing first , water then salt or salt then water. (water then salt 1 cup to 30 gallons...pretty simple if you ask me. Then he asked if my water was RO/DI and at what ppm. I told him ...yes and 00ppm.Then he asked what the temperature was during mixing condition. I told him 84 (we have had a tropical depression go by)
He asked how old the tank was...I said new) oh..he said.
He asked how much sand was in the tank...I said none it is glass.
He asked how clean it was...I told him I restored it every inch was razor cleaned and paper toweled no liquid ( except alcohol to clean silicone areas)

His conclusion.
1. I left the water stagnant (not circulating for 15 minutes. Problem
2. The mixing temperature was to high ambient needed to be 79 not 84. Problem
3. I put in too much salt. Problem

I caused the salt not too mix according to the above faults...his mouth to my fingers. No apology needed.

The end result of the three bad things I did above resulted in the calcium precipitating , and there was nothing that will re-dissolve it. Time would allow it to settle ...maybe a week or two and then I could vacuum it off the glass. But I would need to test again for all missing elements.

My thoughts and the LFS...no way. Ya know I may not be a salt expert but I can smell a rat when I come across one. I did extensive research (albeit internet) and I found many people that have been plugging along just fine using Red Sea Coral Pro and the BAME they bought the next one recently and MILK. They get a Rep telling them they are mixing it wrong... like hello,,,they have been mixing for a long time YOUR PRODUCT and nothing changed but the container recently bought. Slowly the mixes are surfacing.Something changed or it was just a bad batch.

No mater what...they should admit it.

Today was the last day my LFS carried it. Un less this resolves they are going with their customers interests. That's smart business. They saw postings backing up my claim...on top of that the LFS manager commented on my polite calm approach , he felt I am intelligent and believable.

My salinity issue and refractometer was recalibrate by professionals now.

I was given a full refund...I bought IO and have never had a problem

This Salt Mix is a decent quality product. Big fan of H2Ocean but this Red Sea product is comparable. It is way better then synthetic salts as long as your not doing major water changes. The bacterium seem to like the natural products much better in the long run. When mixed right the fresh salt water gives off a good aroma, and you can tell its healthy for the aquarium. Get this product and watch your corals perk up.
